I regularly cycle
6:34 to 7:42 as-fast-as-I-bleeding-can in a bid to get fit.

In fact, I got stopped recently by the swinging of the blue/white bridge seen at 7:36 and took photos of the passing ships while waiting for the cycle path to be put back in position.

Bridge at 8:37 is a new one on me.
Where'd it go again?

Nice. I want to see the ship the camera is on though.

I was thinking it might be a kite
As there are two lines from the ship to the camera, but there are places where it practically stops so I'm wondering if it's a tethered drone.

Probably just the top of a mast

dutch text says
The images were taken with a Canon 550d 18 Mpx camera with an interval of 3 seconds. In total, nearly 30,000 photos were shot. At the time, the film was not allowed to be published immediately and - as it goes - eventually forgotten.

"It was a transport of 30 mtrs high. We hang at the top of it."
"We had it mounted on a ballhead which was bolted to a wooden plank. The plank was bolted to a very sturdy magnet which we hang at the steel based construction. With ducktape and tyrips we made sure it wasn't going anywhere. We shielded it from the elements with a plastic garbage bag.

We had an external battery pack and timer ripped out of an old harbotronics Timelapse Camera Package. The battery lasted longer then the 64 Gb card we used. The 50.000 photo's was when the card was full. The big challenge was the fact that we weren't able to get to the camera during the trip. So the settings had to be automatic since back in the days connecting through the internet was a lot harder."
